"My roommate wants his girlfriend to move in with us. She just lost her job and he wants to help her out while she looks for a new one. I don't want to be insensitive to her situation, but I also think it would be unfair for her to move in and not pay some of the rent and bills. I also would be uncomfortable having her there when he is not. How can I talk to my roommate about this without ruining our friendship?"
